Pours a viscous black with no head and very little lacing. This beer is about as black as they get, no brown or read highlights.

Smell and taste were near identical. There was a smoky roastiness, like you get from a really dark roast coffee, but without the actual coffee flavors. There was also a nice chocolate in the background as well.

Very thick body, with carbonation on the lower end of the scale. Leaves a nice coating on the palette.

Overall I really enjoyed this beer, the slight smokiness along with the rich mouthfeel and flavors made it really easy to enjoy. (611 characters)
